It may be a composite material such as (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic), a paint (a paint layer applied to a base material as an example), glass, or any other material. It may be an object composed of materials.
- Work W is placed on the support surface SS.
- the work W may be arranged on the support surface SS via a support member SM that supports the work on the support surface SS.
- the work W may be placed directly on the support surface SS. Since the work W may be arranged on the support surface SS, the support surface SS may be referred to as an arrangement surface.
- the processing device 1 irradiates the work W with processing light EL in order to process the work W.
- the processing light EL may be any kind of light as long as the work W can be processed by being irradiated with the work W.
- the description will be advanced by using an example in which the processed light EL is a laser light.
- the processed light EL may be a type of light different from the laser light.
- the wavelength of the processed light EL may be any wavelength as long as the work W can be processed by being irradiated with the work W.
- the processed light EL may be visible light or invisible light (for example, at least one of infrared light, ultraviolet light, extreme ultraviolet light, and the like).
- the processed light EL may include pulsed light (for example, pulsed light having a light emission time of picoseconds or less). Alternatively, the processed light EL may not include pulsed light. In other words, the processed light EL may be continuous light.

- an arbitrary structure there is a structure that generates a vortex with respect to the flow of fluid on the surface of the work W.
- Another example of any structure is a structure for imparting hydrophobicity to the surface of the work W.
- Other examples of arbitrary structures include regularly or irregularly formed micro-nanometer-order fine texture structures (typically concavo-convex structures).

- the fine texture structure does not have to have a specific function.
- the processing system SYSa may smooth the surface of the work W.
- smoothing the surface may mean processing the surface so that the surface after processing is smoother than the surface before processing. Further, the processing system SYSa may remove burrs existing on the surface of the work W.
- the processing apparatus 1 may perform additional processing to add a new structure to the work W by irradiating the work W with processing light EL in addition to or instead of the removal processing.
- the processing apparatus 1 may form the above-mentioned riblet structure on the surface of the work W by performing additional processing.
- the processing apparatus 1 may perform marking processing for forming a desired mark on the surface of the work W by irradiating the work W with processing light EL in addition to or in place of at least one of the removal processing and the addition processing.
- the processing device 1 can further measure the work W under the control of the control device 3.
- the processing apparatus 1 irradiates the work W with the measurement light ML2 in order to measure the work W.
- the measurement light ML2 may be any kind of light as long as the work W can be measured by irradiating the work W.
- the description will be advanced by using an example in which the measurement light ML2 is a laser light.
- the measurement light ML2 may be a type of light different from the laser light.
- the wavelength of the measurement light ML2 may be any wavelength as long as the work W can be measured by irradiating the work W.
- the measurement light ML2 may be visible light or invisible light (for example, at least one of infrared light, ultraviolet light, extreme ultraviolet light, and the like).
- the measurement light ML2 may include pulsed light (for example, pulsed light having a light emission time of picoseconds or less).
